Formulation and development of lipid nanoparticle antifungal packaging films to control postharvest disease
Postharvest loss is a major problem in the produce industry. It is important to find alternative solutions to minimize waste. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical, physical, and antifungal properties of packaging films loaded with active essential oil compounds (EOC)...

Postharvest loss is a major problem in the produce industry. It is important to find alternative solutions to minimize waste.

Food-grade emulsions with sub-micron droplets were used to encapsulate cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and thymol using liquid (refined coconut oil) and solid (hydrogenated palm oil) carrier oils and incorporated into pullulan packaging systems.
